I found some pretty cool models http://www.archibase.net/gdl?category=0
(mostly 3ds format) so I had to use Poser to get them in mesh2 ... well
after these great first pass subsurface results I just had to share. Not
to bad ... eh! This scene is going to be fun. I'm thinking something off
camera right (lined up with the light source) ... semi transparent so it
throws some color onto the floor. A plant in a clay pot, background
left. Since my environment is the same hdr (I've been getting plenty of
mileage so what the heck, right) I think I'll dial up the reflection
here and there, ahhhh ... the possibilities.

LOL ... OK maybe too much spirit. PoseRay ... great tool BTW if it's not
in your work flow it should be!

ha I was just going to ask if that was a typo ;)
Cool site, thanks for the link. Finding objects
seems to be a bit cumbersome, though. Or is there
better search capability after registering?

yeah ... ui lacking. category filter at top of the page was good enough.
I didn't bother registering ... found several that I downloaded.

Don't install the toolbar. It kept taking me to the site whenever I
opened a new tab.
A good source of meshes though.

Looks great! The subsurface parameters (or something else I can't point
my finger at) make it appear quite small though; I'd estimate it at some
20 cm in height. Maybe even 10 cm - just the right size to be the queen
in an exquisite set of chess figures.

Very nice indeed. For a second I mistook the shadow falling on the right
of the figure to be some kind of (crude) movement blurring :-) Maybe
this is due to the subsurface?

Very nice, could we get an idea of rendering time?
Enjoy your holidays Jim

yeah ... I've found that mm_per_unit 40 is a fairly good starting point.
you can most generally see if you need to go higher or lower easy
enough. given the scale I'm working with I'd say maybe even triple that
might not be to out of line. I'll probably end up doing a couple of half
step runs between 40 and 120 to see where I end up.

I believe that's from the statue straddling the shadow line ... that was
on purpose as I think the subsurface effect looks cool at those
transitions ... dunno if it's going to work out yet tho ;-)
